!tliiK!cgfn "" -a.-v, THE HESPERIAN 13 Tf- X P". r f As rnu Athletic. The tennis club is making prepara tions for a tournament to come off in a few weeks. At the last meeting a com mittee was appointed to work up interest and make preparations. The dues for the next six months were reduced to seventy-five cents. Among the new players are Dr. Moore and Prof. Moore, of the Physics department. The formation of an inter class foot ball league is almost assured. The fresh men met Saturday p. m. and elected Oliver Chambers, manager and a com mittee was appointed to draw up rules governing players on the Freshmen team. At least two or three of the players who will be on the 'Varsity 'Leven are Fresh men and if the league is organized their team will be a hard one to beat. Jnt watch 'em. The Athletic Association met in the chapel Saturday afternoon. Mr. Whip ple called the meeting to order and (t. N. Porter was made temporary secretary. The first business was the annual election of officers. The following were unani mously elected: president, J. P. Cameron; vice-president, Alvin Pope; secretary, Gr. N. Porter; treasurer, J. V. Z. Cortelyon. The unanimity with which these officers were elected shows the confidence the as sociation has in them and athletics will undoubtedly prosper during their incum bency. Considerable discussion followed over the interpretion of the constitution in regard to the manner of election of directors, tt was finally decided that the secretary should call the roll of members, each responding with the names of four persons for directors. The four success ful candidates were B. W. Wilson, R. C. Saxton, F. F. Riley, A. S. White. The association then proceeded to the election of two members of the board from the faculty. Prof. Caldwell and Prof. Owens were selected. The usual barb-frat fight did not materalize, possibly because there were about five frats present to one barb. All of the student directors are fraternity men The way Ames college shut out Mis souri is beiug chuckled over by Nebraska. The score was 13 to 0 but it must be re membered that Missouri generally loses her first game and then buckles down and plays ball- While it looks like our friends have a somewhat weak team, we must not immediately jump to the con clusion that we have a snap when we play them. Hanson and Votaw! Have you seen them play foot ball! They are a whole rush line in themselves. Watch their smoke. Pay your foot ball subscription at the Coop. M 'iff $.
